Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

The 381LX183M035A042 Capacitor is an electrolytic capacitor, specifically an aluminum electrolytic capacitor. This type of capacitor is composed of two plates of aluminum foil separated by a paper layer which is saturated in an electrolyte. Oftentimes, an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is the most cost- and size-efficient solution to energy storage problems – even when compared to other types of capacitors.

Application Field

The 381LX183M035A042 is commonly used in medical devices, industrial machines, automobiles, and space-limited consumer electronics. This type of capacitor is valued for its high capacitance and low leakage current, which makes it perfect for use in situations where availability of space is limited or where high-energy storage is needed.

This type of capacitor is also well-suited for various applications in the military such as radar systems, communications, and missiles. It is also used in nuclear reactors and energy generation and storage devices, along with various motion control systems such as robotics.

Electronic circuits such as switching regulators, motor drives, and PFC circuits often rely on the use of aluminum electrolytic capacitors to reduce power supply noise. Other consumer electronics, particularly specialized audio equipment, commonly use this type of capacitor to filter out high-frequency noise.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 381LX183M035A042 Capacitor is based on a process in which an electric current is used to create a charge on a component called an electrode. This process is called an electrolysis and occurs when the electric current is passed through the liquid electrolyte. This causes reaction between the electrolyte and the aluminum foil, which forms an oxide layer in between the two. This oxide layer can act as an insulator for the capacitance, allowing a charge to be held across the element.

The 381LX183M035A042 features a low effective series resistance, or “ESR.” This means that the capacitor is capable of handling higher current levels with a minimal drop in efficiency. Additionally, this capacitor also features a high dielectric strength which increases the rate at which it can store energy. This makes it ideal for use in power supply applications.

The 381LX183M035A042 excels in its ability to store an enormous amount of energy in a small form factor. This makes it highly efficient for energy storage applications and makes it a popular choice for the medical, industrial, military, and consumer electronics markets.
